9) Sankhaa Panchakam = The Five doubts that plague the mind of
the Prapannan that will affect the fulfilment of Prapatthi due to
lack of Mahaa ViswAsam . Here are the five doubys that assail one :
9.1: We perform Prapatthi , an easy to do , nontime consuming act
to gain thegreatest of fruits ( Moksha Sukham). We not only perform
Prappathi in a small dimension of time but also do it only once.
Can this observance done once in a trice ( short duration of time)
really secure the greatest of PurushArTams (viz.,) Moksham .
9.2: By our nature , we are inclined to trespass Bhagavath Saasthrams
and accumulate mountains of sins. These offenses must provoke
the anger of the Lord . Will the all powerful Lord condone all these
trespasses and look away from the consequent bundles of sins ?
9.3: Even after Prapatthi , we consciously committ many trespasses of
Bhagavath Saasthrams . Will the Lord or Can the Lord ignore them
and forgive us ?
9.4: I know that I am bent over with the magnituide of my sins , In contrast
to me are others with noble conducts , who also desire to perform
Prapatthi to gian Moksham . How Can I be granted the same grand
reward of Moksham on a par with those noble souls ?
9.5 : The performance of Prapatthi in contrast to the observance of
Bhakthi yOgam is said to yield Moksham either instantaneously
(AarTa Prapannan) or at the end of this janmam ( Dhruptha Prapannan).
How could this happen ? Bhakthi Yogam gains Moksham after many
births and considerable delays. How could the fruits of Prapathi can
be realized within one's own life time ?
These are FIVE lingering Questions in the mind of a Prapannan, which
would destroy his/her Prapatthi due to lack of Mahaa ViswAsam in our Lord.
These doubts has to be dispelled thru the development of Mahaa ViswAsam
( unshakable faith) based on following facts: (1) The most merciful Mahaa
Lakshmi's proximity to the Lord to appeal on our behalf to Her Lord
(2) the Limitless kindness and oudhAryam ( generosity ) of the Lord ,
whose Sanklapam ( will) can not be questioned and as a result of which
He blesses us with Moksham in return fr a pretext (vyAjam ) of a ritual
( Prapatthi anushtAanam).We are very dear to Sriman Narayanan ,
particularly after our Prapatthi .
